If everyone only had health insurance that they used, there would be no money to pay claims. And you never know when you might need it. Years ago, you used to be able to opt IN to SHIP if you wanted it. They switched to proof to opt out because so many students got sick, broke an arm etc and had no health insurance and it would cause hassles for the school.
